Is anyone familiar with the concept of Cycled Cooling? From what I understand, it is a process used in Plastic Injection Molding to help reduce cycle time. Vaguely, the process constitutes heating the mold to a temperature as close as possible to the melt temperature, then, after injection...
Can anyone assist me in determining the time it would take to increase the temperature of a piece of steel to a target temperature based on the material's thermal/physical properties and energy requiremnents (Q)?
Thanks,
